"Madrid, the city where we all are foreigners, adopted, hosted or in passing; but it is also the city you will do it your way. Madrid drown with its rhythm of life, running through the corridor of any metro; but it is also that city whose blotchy sunset can make you believe that everything is possible. Madrid is pure eroticism. A drug from which you can not unhook."

AF is a photographic investigation about one tiny unnamed village in southeast Spain.

AF is the first book by Spanish photo collective Omnivore Photo."

"An industrial skyline looms over Taranto through every possible visual and mental sight. For over 50 years, smoke, dust and pollutants propagated in a town forced to an alleged “industrial vocation”, but actually with deeper, more and more invisible vocations for farming, tourism and the sea. Water and oil, countryside and steel, doric columns and concrete do not coexist in this southern Italian town, as well as the absurd, unacceptable by now, alternative between work and health. Sansavenir is a word painted on a wall dividing the Ilva steel factory and the town surrounding it.These photographs talk about what is surrounding it. "

"'Sintesi dei metodi tradizionali di conoscenza dell’universo’ is an art edition, an extension of the previous book 'Antologia Minima', a discussion of the ethical responsibilities in the data organization to create an archive.

An accurate selection of non-authorial photographs (taken from manuals to train dogs, fitness and bodybuilding, christian propaganda novels and essays on medical hypnosis) accompanied by some autographs texts, that segment of knowledge split between science, faith and popular credulity."

"…I love NY, Twin Towers, The Chequered Taxi, Hands Across America, to God Bless the Cheerful giver…These pictures form a closed loop of photographs taken in New York, Manhattan, 1986. Visions from a taxi window, visions of have and have not's, takers and givers.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

There is no selecting, editing and/or curating involved. If your books meet the formal criteria, it will be listed regardless of its content and our tastes.

We only list books or zines that cannot be bought via Amazon or commercial chain book stored. Also no Blurb books or MagCloud magazines, since those can be found easily via Blurb's/MagCloud's website.

We only accept announcements about existing print books or zines (strictly no fundraisers). By "zine" we mean not regularly published magazines, but rather one-time publications (which are often xeroxed/cheaply printed and stapled, thus resembling a magazine).

At the time of the listing, the book/zine has to be available (no "sold out") so people can actually order it online. No repeat announcements or "special offers" or "30% off" sale announcements.
